Bike boxes installed on Hunter

The installation of two-way bike lanes on Hunter Street in Hamilton continues with the addition of bright green bike boxes.

The boxes are used at intersections to designate a space for cyclists wanting to make a turn. Cars are meant to stop behind the bike box on a red light. To make a legal turn on a red, cars can advance into the box as long as there is no cyclist.

Parking on Hunter Street west of city hall isn’t affected by the added bike lanes. But between Catharine and Liberty streets, parking is being moved to the north side.
